Dwyane Wade
NBA Champion, All Star & Olympic Gold Medalist
Dwyane Wade emerged as one of the best young players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) in his first three seasons in the league. The 6'4" Wade played guard for the Miami Heat, and with his team, won the 2006 NBA championship for which he was named the Final's Most Valuable Player. Wade was known for his quickness, his humble and professional demeanor, and for having a complete game.
Wade's World Foundation provides support to community based organizations that promote education, health, and social skills for children in at-risk situations. Dwyane was inspired to start the foundation because he wanted to give back to undeserved communities and support issues of purpose. "I can't just let basketball define who I am and what I am supposed to become," said Wade. "Like my mother always tells me, my life is bigger than basketball."
